“Big John” Kimbrough Deferred From Army
For a Year; To Play Football With New York
Word comes from Wallace Kim
brough, brother of John, that the
former two-time All-American Ag
gie fullback has been deferred from
military service for one year. This
gives “Big John”, who has a sec
ond lieutenant’s commission in the
.army, a chance to show his stuff
next fall with the New York
Yankee, professional football team,
and also get his hands on some of
that 37,000 smackers. Kimbrough,
who is making movie shorts in
Hollywood now, is due to report to
the Yankee spring training camp
before September.
Second-Term Twilight League Should See

the Campus Cleaners should re

and that is enough said there. Also

Looking over statistics compiled
by Wayne Todd, manager of the
Campus Cleaners, one can see why
they were softball champs. In the
first place their whole team bat
ting average was .320, which is
nothing to be sneezed at. Their
two leading batters are Bob Dem-
nis and Steele Nixon, who hit a
stunning average of .550.
In the pitching department Ruth
erford and Bloodworth compiled
a total of nine victories and no
defeats. Two of those games were
no-hitters by Rutherford. Rudy

Norton Gives Probable Starting Lineup For Next Fall
But Does Not Divulge Much As to Aggie Chances Next Year
Picks Longhorns As
Team to Beat in Race
Regardless of how hot the wea
ther the football fan wants to talk
football, so in response to numer
ous requests, Texas Aggie Head
Coach Homer Norton gives a peep
into the future for 1941.
After winter training ended he
announced that he picks the
Texas Longhorns as the team
to beat with Southern Meth
odist, co-champions with the Ag
gies last year, as the threat. For
third place he ranks Rice, if Full
back Bob Brumley is back, and
then Baylor. However, he would
move the Bears up in event that
Brumley does get into the army.
For the other three places in the
Southwest Conference he rates Ar
kansas, Texas Christian and the
Aggies all in a dog fight to keep
out of the cellar.
The Aggies lost practically their
entire first and second teams
through graduation which accounts
for his glum outlook for 1941. Only
regulars returning among the 12
lettermen are Jim Sterling, All-
Conference left end, and Derace
Moser, wing back for two years
but now a tail back. Second string
ers who will be back include Bill
Henderson, “Boots” Simmons and
Harold Cowley, ends; Martin Ruby
and Euel Wesson, tackles; Ray
Mulhollan and Roy Bucek, guards;
Marshall Spivey, wing back; and
Jake Webster, fullback. Only other
returning letterman is Earl (Ba-
ma) Smith, the hide-out special
ist wing back.
Squadmen returning include Les
Richardson, guard; Felix Bucek,
Roy’s brother, who was held out
of action last year, but worked
out daily with the ineligible®;
“Bud” Force, tailback; Leonard
Joeris, big tackle; Zolus Motley,
guard; Jimmie Knight, end; Cul
len Rogers, wing back; Bill Sib
ley, center, and only experienced
man for this post; Freeman
Thompson, guard; Maurice Wil
liams, end; and Willie Zapalac,
blocking back, who also was held
out last season.
It will be possible for Norton
to start a letterman at all posi
tions except center and blocking
back but his reserves practically
all will be sophomores or transfers
playing their first year of big time
football.
Right now he says his starting
team probably will stack up some-
think like this: Sterling and Hen
derson or Simmons, ends; Ruby
and Wesson, tackles; Roy Bucek
and Mulhollan, guards; Sibley,
center; Zapalac, blocking back;
Spivey, wing back; Webster, full
back; and Moser, tail back.
His second string then would be
made up of the following possibil
ities: Lettermen Cowley and Hen
derson or Simmons, ends; Bob Tul-
faced 117 batters in 5 4/7 games,
striking out 56 and walking but
7. Bloodworth worked in 5 3/7
games, faced 114 batters, striking
out 7 and walking 24. No wonder
the Cleaners were champs!
Sports Squibs from here and there
. . . Statistics compiled by Dewey
Hoke of the Intramural Depart
ment show that 9437 boys parti
cipated in Class B Intramurals,
while 10,227 participated in Class
A. . . J. C. Brock, ace softball
hurler of Howard’s Cleaners of
Waco, pitched for Western Auto
last Wednesday night against Coca-
cola ... he struck out 9 men in 4
innings, but hurt his back in a
later inning and had to be replaced.
. . . Monty Moncrief opposed the
star Waco twirler, and pitched on
even terms with him until the
last two innings. . . Art Adamson,
Aggie swimming coach, and W. L.
Penberthy, head of intramural ath
letics here, will officiate in the
A.A.U. Swimming Meet, which will
come off in Harlingen August 2nd
and 3rd. . . Mac Browder, the ole
rolly-polly shortstop of the sec
ond-place Campus Theater soft-
ball team, is due to be a recruit in

ber. . . Woody Bell, former Aggie
baseball great, and recently with
the San Antonio Missions, has been
called to the army. . . Lefty Bum
pers received some 125 votes as

team. . . that was pretty good,
considering that Lefty has been
with the Exporters only a month.

is and Leonard Dickey, sophs,
tackles; Squadmen Richardson and
Felix Bucek, guards; Leonard Hol
der, first-year varsity, center; Dick
Skarke (Pronounced scar-key)
first-year varsity, blocking back;
Leo Daniels, soph, wing back; Den
nis Andricks, first-year varsity,
fullback; and Tom Pickett, first-
year varsity, tailback.
Beyond that Norton said he
wouldn’t even make a guess as to
replacements until after the squad
reports early in September. With
school opening on Sept. 10 this
year the Aggies will miss the
benefit of the usual two weeks of
two-a-day practice periods and in
stead have to get all their heavy
work done in four days since one
of the days between reporting and
school opening is a Sunday.
On the possibility of losing some
men to the draft, Norton called
attention to the fact that all jun
iors and seniors on the squad have
applied for War Department con
tracts calling for them to complete
the advance course in military
science and tactics which leads to
a commission upon graduation.
Present holders of contracts in
clude Moser, Spivey, Roy Bucek,
Motley and Sterling. Such con
tracts automatically defer the hold
ers until they complete the course
and are commissioned as officers.
Jewett Loses Game
To Campus Club
Campus Cleaners Should Have
No Trouble Winning Crown
Striking for three quick tallies
in the third inning, the Campus
Cleaners held on to their slim
margin throughout the game be
hind the steady two-hit pitching
of Rudy Rutherford to subdue the
challenge of the Jewett softball
team, 5 to 1, in the annual Bryan
tournament.
The Cleaners, themselves, col
lected but three blows off Pitcher
Johnson, but his wildness cost him
the game. He walked nine men
while at the same time striking out
thirteen. Catcher Newsom’s pass
ed balls and Johnson’s wild pitch
ing didn’t hurt the Cleaners any.
After a scoreless first inning
in which the side was retired on
strikeouts, the Cleaners hit pay
dirt in the next frame. Nixon
walked, went to second on a wild
pitch, and came in on Gray’s smash
into left field. Gray took second
on the throw-in. He came home on
two wild pitches. Bloodworth and
Jennings whiffed, but Galloway
took life as Chandler dropped his
high fly in short center field. He
scored a moment later as Johnson
threw two consecutive wild pitch
es. Dennis walked, but Rutherford
struck out to end the wild session.
The Cleaners added another tal
ly in the next frame. Fuller walk
ed, and took second on a passed
ball. Ogdee walked. Fuller then
scored as Nixon singled to right,
with Ogdee stopping at third. Gray
walked to fill the bases. Blood
worth flied to short right, but
Ogdee was out at the plate as he
tried to make home.
Jewett finally broke the ice
against Rutherford with a run in
the fourth frame. Barron and Holt
walked. Barron then tallied as
Evans scratched a hit to short.

Twenty-three members of the
great 1939 and 1940 teams held
such contracts and most of them
are now on active duty with the
army as second lieutenants. At the
same time, Norton called attention
to the fact that Texas A. & M.
annually produces more commis
sioned officers than any school in
the nation and it is not unusual
for the Aggie athletes to apply for
the military contracts. Last June
535 members of the 808-man grad
uating class received such com
missions and nearly all are now
on active duty.

Twilight League To Begin
First Part of Next Week
Other Tournaments to Start in Near Future;
Sport Entries Are Due by 6 P. M. Saturday
It’s tournament time again Mon-'
day evening as softball rolls into
its second and final term. All en
tries for the various summer
sports will be accepted till 6 p.
m. Saturday.
Luke Harrison, program and
athletic director of the summer
session, was well satisfied with
the softball tournament last term,
and expects another hair-raising
and rousing battle for the soft-
ball flag.
Ehtries for tennis, pingpong,
handball, badminton, and Aggie-
minton will be distributed in the
next day or so to each room, and
may be turned in at the Y.M.C.A.
in the small box on top of the
mail box just outside the chapel
door.
A swimming meet will be held
in the next three or four weeks
in the P. L. Downs, Jr. Natatorium.
The first semester meet was a
success, both from a spectator’s
and participant’s viewpoint, and
it is expected to turn out equally
as well this term.
As an anti-climax to the sum-
■mer sports parade, Harrison hopes
to schedule either an all-star or
a leading team from Bryan against
the Twilight League champ or a
team composed of all-stars. Last
term, the Twilight League All-
Star team split a couple of 9-5
games with Bryan.
At the present rate of production,
American factories in 1941 will
turn out more than 450,000,000
pairs of shoes, breaking all records
for production for any country.
